Mississippi: McCain Still Leads Obama By Six

Thursday, June 26, 2008

The topline numbers in the race between John McCain and Barack Obama in Mississippi remain unchanged over the past month. The first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state since Hillary Clinton’s exit from the race finds McCain leading Obama 50% to 44%, just as he did in May.

While McCain has a solid 57% to 38% lead among men, Obama leads 49% to 44% among women. Obama also dominates among the youngest set of voters (age 18-29), 75% to 22%. McCain holds the advantage in voters of all other age groups.

McCain attracts 84% of Republican voters in Mississippi and 54% of voters who are not affiliated with either party. Obama’s support in the Magnolia State comes from 78% of Democrats and 33% of unaffiliated voters.

McCain is viewed favorably by 58% of voters and unfavorably by 37% of voters. Obama’s numbers are 48% favorable, 51% unfavorable.

Mississippi has cast its six Electoral College votes for the Republican candidate in the last seven Presidential elections. In 2004, President Bush easily won the state by a 59% to 40% margin. Rasmussen Markets data shows that McCain is given a 80.0% chance of winning the state this November. The state is classified as “Likely Republican” by the Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator.
